parents finding it "cute" when their kids swear?

now, I'm not miss polly pure mouth but I get extremely disgusted in the parent when I hear little kids saying any swear word in the book. I'm at work right now and this couple had a two children with them, both under 5 and the little boy smacks the little girl in the head and says "stop looking at me bitch" and the parents laughed.

wtf kind of parenting is that?

I would be so embarrased if my kid said any swear words. And I am trying not to swear like a sailor, but it's fucking hard, you know?

Honestly, I do not think all swear words are created equal and, while I wouldn't want my kid saying any of them, a kid saying DAMN SHIT or FUCK about a situation to me is better than them calling someone a BITCH a MOTHERFUCKER (not sure why I'm capitalizing these swear words, just go with it)

As the saying goes Little pitchers have big ears.

It's sort of cute when the kid is two or younger. Like when a little boy had poop in his diaper and told me, "I got sit." Or the little girl who fell down and said, "Ass go boom." I still don't laugh, but I don't freak out either.

But once they're old enough to know what they're saying, no way, uh-uh that will not fly with me. I lecture my older kids about it constantly, bc Dd has started saying "Dammit!" a lot. I tell them that people who don't know you will judge you by how you speak, and if every other word is a cuss, they'll assume that you're ignorant white trash. I cuss a lot, but I also know how to turn it off when I'm at work or among those with delicate sensibilities. It's not an ingrained habit.

The smacking the little girl in the head and calling her a bitch is NOT going to be cute when he's doing it to his girlfriends later and getting charged with domestic violence. Rock those parenting skills, assholes.

My 4 yr old 'yelled' at me the other day for using the word 'stpuid'. He informed me that was not a nice word and 'no thank you mom!'. (when a person does or says something you dont want them to do or say again, his daycare has taught him to say ''no thank you!' In response to it.......adorable!) : )

My XH's nephew was singing to himself saying, "Baby fucker, baby fucker, baby fucker..." in a singsong voice. My XH, XMIL, and XSIL were all visiting. We looked at each other, kind of shocked. "What did you just say?" His nephew looked *at his mom, smiled and said,

"Mom, it's okay. I said baby fucker, not mother fucker, so it's okay!"

I laughed to myself not at what he said, but at his reasoning. His thinking process was adorable.

My kids are 9 and 11 and I've never heard them swear (the probably have, they just know better than to do it around me). And it isn't like I never do it myself,either, but I was really careful when they were in the "repeat" stage, and now I try to do it under my breath for the most part. Somehow, I just automatically changed my foul mouth ways when I had my kids -- except for "girls' weekend," we laugh at ourselves for how bad our language is for that 48 hrs. Anyway, it doesn't bother me if it is a little kid repeating "shit" but when you hear a lot of swear words and especially a scenario like in the OP, I wonder about how the parents behave at home. I just think that there are better ways to speak in our normal everyday conversations that don't need to include crude language. It makes people sound uneducated and crass, IMO, and that is what I think of the parents when I hear it coming out of the kid's mouth. The scenario above? I'd wonder who his father is talking to in that manner for the son to learn to behave that way. (or what the kid is watching on tv)
